Fox and Friends Baby Shower

Hello Stampin' Friends!

Today I hosted a Baby Shower for a friend of mine from a MOMS group I belong to.  As soon as I heard that her theme was Noah's Ark I knew exactly what I wanted to use for her decorations- Fox and Friends!

This was kind of a short notice shower so I didn't have time to do too many things, but wanted to add a few touches with Fox and Friends throughout the house. 

The project above is a gift I made for her.  It is a set of Thank You cards that she can give away.  I remember when I had my two girls, boy did I go through Thank You cards!  The matching box was easy to make and only took one sheet 1 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock.  I put 8 cards and 8 envelopes in the box.  It was a tight fit, but I was determined to fit 8.  If you create a box set like this I would recommend 6.  I will post those instructions in a future post. 

What is a party without favors?  Since this shower was for a fellow MOMS member and would include kids, I catered the favor for the kids.  I used the same Fox and Friends stamp set and made these EASY 2-4-6-8 boxes.

Here is how to make these favors: Take one sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 Cardstock.  On the short side, score at 2 - 4- 6 -8.  Turn vertically and cut down the middle at 5 1/2.  Then score each piece at 1 1/2.  Fold, Cut and Decorate.  It is super easy.  Each 8 1/2 x 11 sheet makes two favors.

I also made cupcake toppers to go along with the theme.

On the buffet area, I added these tents to describe each of the food items.  The tents are simply 4 1/4 x 3 pieces of cardstock folded in half and decorated.

Lastly, I added matching labels on the water bottles.  I forgot to take a picture so I just had one left by the time I remembered. 

What do you think?  In the end I was pleased with the last minute decorations I was able to do.  I love this Fox and Friends set and think it makes cute decorations for showers and birthday partys.
